The Australian Weather Forum

The kids and I have been upstairs watching the show, all they could say (repeatedly) was "Awesome! Sick! Wow, look at that! Awesome"

The show literally went just past us, from our upstairs windows it felt like you could reach out and touch the clouds, it's fascinating watching the clouds lower, then raise up again and the sun shining through underneath made it all the more spectacular

that se edge is SPECTACULAR
processing pictures now

The structure on that little cell that just crossed the bay was awesome - there was a clear shelf cloud that I could see from side-on when leaving work in Notting Hill. This whole line coming through at the moment has some great structure, especially as there is very little precip coming out of it so far so the view is not being obstructed.

Nice little cell east Cranbourne

Dark here with some nice looking rotation up in the sky. Moderate rain falling with 2mm (and a dead fly) recorded so far today.

Edit: heavier rain now with some gusts, wonder if the fireworks at Ruffey Lake will get called off?

yes, very Impressive watching it from here, processing some pics also.
Now Ive got cold Brussel Sprouts.. darn weather..

That cell heading off into gippy is NASTY. I wouldn't be surprised to hear of some very severe damage.

Got some nice pics of that Cranbourne cell that had a nice black core just befor it reached Pakenham.

Rob...

If you haven't got a good view of the weather, check out ch.9's news, started off with a rainbow & now black clouds are rolling in!

23 mm in the Tamar Valley today with consistent heavy showers. Looking at the NW Tas radar its almost done and dusted.

Anyone from Cranbourne, Paky area? Can you tell us what's just went through. I'd be worried for Warrigul-Korumburra residents, take cover guys!!!

Bout to smashed here, big storm complete with wall cloud, lowering and hail base moving in. And I'm on the road to Monbulk! Timing hey..

Missed you there Rob, can't wait to see what it looked like. That was one long black core!

some thunder here...

rang friend in koo wee, just heavy rain,

I just had some very heavy rain here in Gembrook. It was so sudden and loud,I thought we were having another of those March hailstorms. Thankfully it wasnt.

Thunder and Lightning here with heavy rain, will update amount when I can check gauge

Edit: 8mm here so far. The thunder and lightning has stopped back to the cricket.
